That run block is not an exception. According to PFF, he is quite good in the run game (#12 out of 35). The problem is he lacks either strength or technique to pass protect consistently.

I've been following the Niners for 70 years and you can count on one hand the number of great centers they've had. Bruce Bosely, Forrest Blue, Randy Cross, Jesse Sapolu and Jeremy Newberry come to mind as the top ones.

Bart Oates was only here two years, but it was a solid two years. One of the more underrated free agent pickups in 1994.

Alex Mack for one season, albeit not in his prime

Oates was a great addition. He was a Pro Bowler both seasons with the 49ers.
He wasn't a center but Kevin Gogan was another late career OL signing that turned out great. He brought a grit and nastiness that the 49ers badly needed.

I don't include one or two year rentals that are at the end of a career. I know they can help but I'm talking about long term centers that can anchor the middle of the line.
